Airbus reported consolidated Full-Year (FY) 2024 financial results and provided guidance for 2025.

The highlights are:

• 766 commercial aircraft delivered 
• Revenues € 69.2 billion; EBIT Adjusted € 5.4 billion
• EBIT (reported) € 5.3 billion; EPS (reported) € 5.36
• Free cash flow before customer financing € 4.5 billion
• 2024 guidance achieved
• Dividend proposals: dividend of € 2.00 per share; special dividend of € 1.00 per share
• 2025 guidance issued.

Gross commercial aircraft orders totalled 878 (2023: 2,319 airplanes) with net orders of 826 aircraft after cancellations (2023: 2,094 planes). The order backlog amounted to 8,658 commercial aircraft at the end of December 2024. 

Airbus Helicopters registered 450 net orders (2023: 393 units), with a book-to-bill ratio above 1 both in units and value highlighting strong demand for the Division’s platforms. There was also good order intake for helicopter services. 

Airbus Defence and Space’s order intake by value increased to a record € 16.7 billion (2023: € 15.7 billion), corresponding to a book-to-bill of around 1.4. Fourth quarter orders included 25 additional Eurofighter military aircraft for Spain.

The Company targets to achieve in 2025:

• Around 820 commercial aircraft deliveries;
• EBIT Adjusted of around € 7.0 billion;
• Free Cash Flow before Customer Financing of around € 4.5 billion.

Preliminary assumptions of the impact of the integration of certain Spirit AeroSystems work packages:

• EBIT Adjusted: broadly neutral; 
• Free Cash Flow before Customer Financing: mid triple digit negative;
• Net cash broadly neutral as the compensation to be received from Spirit AeroSystems will offset the FCF negative impact.
